The clash ended with a 6-1 win for Lewis who went on to beat Phil Taylor in the final.

However, the 18-year-old drew praise from Lewis on Twitter, with Jackpot predicting he would be a “future star”.

Evetts exited in the first and second rounds, respectively, of the following two qualifiers, while Lillington’s Nigel Heydon bowed out in the second round on both day two and day three.
